"Your Highness, isn't this too much? My Lady was merely letting Second Young Lady rescue Miss Han. How could you beat her without reason? Look around you! My Lady is also your betrothed! Based on your actions, are you questioning the Emperor's decision?"
Dong Bao's eyes were burning with fury when she saw Han Jing getting slapped.
Dong Bao did not expect Prince Ling to publicly beat his betrothed since he was known to be a good person in Hanjing City. Was he aware that he was ruining his own reputation?
She wanted to beat him up if he did not regard the fact he was her Lady's lover, let alone a prince.
Dong Bao looked at Han Jing with concern. "My Lady, are you alright? Let's go back. I'll apply some medicine to your face…"
Dong Bao was worried that Han Jing might be upset since she had always admired Prince Ling. His actions were too much!
Han Jing glanced at Dong Bao before pointing at Prince Ling.
"Tell me, am I his betrothed?" she questioned.
She did not mind getting slapped. It was nothing to her as she was used to it. However, she made sure that she would seek vengeance from anyone who had ever slapped her!
"Huh?" Dong Bao did not respond for a while before she nodded blindly. Why did her Lady ask such a question? It was a known fact in Hanjing City that her Lady adored Prince Ling and pestered the princess to obtain a royal decree from the Emperor.
"Why would I fancy a mad dog? Was I blind?" Han Jing frowned in disbelief. She would never do that!
Prince Ling regretted slapping her. As the third prince Nanyao Nation, how could he put his hands on a woman after being provoked? Regardless of who was right or wrong, it would not end well for him once the Emperor heard about this!
He was never an unrestrained person. He had never roughed her up, although he despised her!
However, he did not expect that hideous woman to call him a mad dog!
He was light-headed all of a sudden. He rushed forward to grab Han Jing by the neck.
"Han Jing! Do you have a death wish?!" he growled.
As a grown man, no one ever called him crazy in front of so many people, not to mention twice.
Han Yan—who was flailing in the water and feigning weakness—was also shocked when she saw what had occurred. She felt a tinge of satisfaction, wishing Prince Ling would strangle the hideous woman to death!
Han Yan teamed up with the foolish Han Yuxiao to teach Han Jing a lesson since the princess was not in the capital. They made her fall into the water since everyone knew that the domineering Lady feared nothing except for water! However, she did not expect Dong Bao to come to her rescue so soon and neither did she expect Han Jing to be revived.
Han Yan gritted her teeth as she sunk into the water to save Han Yuxiao so that Prince Ling would see her in a different light.
Han Jing bore the slap from Prince Ling because it was difficult for her to dodge; she was unprepared. Now that he was standing still while grasping her, she would not allow him to hurt her anymore or her 20 years of experience would go to waste!
She found it hard to breathe, but there was a sinister tone in her voice.
"Would you kill me?"
